God’s Treasure
Author: Dr. Pocahontas Schuck
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1973691116
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
In 1978 Ron Wyatt and his two sons discovered and photographed ancient wheels on the floor of the Red Sea. Mr. Wyatt took one of these wheels, a hub with eight spokes, to the director of antiquities in Cairo. The director verified the wheel to be from the eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. Less than ten years later in 1984 they discovered Mt. Sinai in Saudi Arabia. The mountain they found was immediately recognizable due to the fact that only the top was blackened. Exodus 19:18 records that in God’s anger He sent fire down to the top of the mountain. The book is unique in that it takes a mystery of ancient history and explains it in a compelling, easy to follow, and understandable read. There are details that substantiate historical and geographical research, the journey of Moses. Let’s go back in time when two million people walked on dry ground on a pathway normally covered by a sea, each side with mile deep canyons similar to the Grand Canyon of the United States. Learn the background and setting of one of the most miraculous Acts of God that has ever been written...... “Dr. Schuck presents real facts that bring to light truth about a mystery of ancient history. Utilizing her extensive teaching background and solid research she presents a factual and concise narrative of what really happened in The Red Sea Crossing. She makes the case for the true story in a way that is compelling, easy to follow and understandable. I highly recommend this book for all who seek truth. It should be added to every believers’ library of tools for defending the faith.” — Fletcher Christiansen, Industrial Planning Consultant “I believed in the Red Sea Crossing based on faith. It was such a comfort to read the amazing details in God’s Treasure Red Sea Crossing that substantiate, through historical and geographical research, the journey of Moses. Pokie transforms an age-old story into a journey founded in faith and fact.” — Veronica Foster, Author Storybridges, Language Programs for Children

Love Him Anyway
Author: Abby Banks

Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
One night can change everything. Abby Banks put her healthy, happy infant son to sleep, but when she awoke the next morning, she felt as though she was living a nightmare. Her son, Wyatt, was paralyzed. There was no fall, no accident, no warning. A rare autoimmune disease attacked his spinal cord, and there was no cure. In an instant, all her hopes and dreams for him were wiped away. The life she envisioned for her family was gone, and she was frozen by the fear of a future she never imagined. As she struggled to come to grips with her son’s devastating diagnosis and difficult rehabilitation, she found true hope in making a simple choice, a choice to love anyway—to love her son, the life she didn’t plan, and the God of hope, who is faithful even when the healing doesn’t come. In Love Him Anyway, Abby shares her family’s journey from heartbreak to triumph and reminds us that hope and joy can be found in life’s hardest places.

Dragging Wyatt Earp
Author: Robert Rebein
Publisher: Ohio University Press
ISBN: 0804040524
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
In Dragging Wyatt Earp essayist Robert Rebein explores what it means to grow up in, leave, and ultimately return to the iconic Western town of Dodge City, Kansas. In chapters ranging from memoir to reportage to revisionist history, Rebein contrasts his hometown’s Old West heritage with a New West reality that includes salvage yards, beefpacking plants, and bored teenagers cruising up and down Wyatt Earp Boulevard. Along the way, Rebein covers a vast expanse of place and time and revisits a number of Western myths, including those surrounding Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, the Cheyenne chief Black Kettle, George Armstrong Custer, and of course Wyatt Earp himself. Rebein rides a bronc in a rodeo, spends a day as a pen rider at a local feedlot, and attempts to “buck the tiger” at Dodge City’s new Boot Hill Casino and Resort. Funny and incisive, Dragging Wyatt Earp is an exciting new entry in what is sometimes called the nonfiction of place. It is a must- read for anyone interested in Western history, contemporary memoir, or the collision of Old and New West on the High Plains of Kansas.

The Heat
Author: Garry Disher
Publisher: Text Publishing
ISBN: 1922253200
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Wyatt needs a job. A bank job would be nice. Or a security van. But these days armed robbery means working with cocky young idiots or strung-out meth-heads—and Wyatt’s not that desperate. Luckily, a broker in Queensland knows someone who wants a painting stolen. Which is how Wyatt finds himself in Noosa, casing a rich paedophile’s house for entry points and escape routes. That’s fine. It’s what Wyatt does. The double-cross that’s supposed to end with him getting killed? Less fine. The heat is on. Garry Disher has published almost fifty titles—fiction, children's books, anthologies, textbooks, the Wyatt thrillers and the Mornington Peninsula mysteries. He has won numerous awards, including the German Crime Prize (twice) and two Ned Kelly Best Crime novel awards, for Chain of Evidence (2007) and Wyatt (2010). Garry lives on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula. Praise for Garry Disher ‘For the connoisseur of crime the Wyatt series represents Disher at his stylish best...wicked and wonderful. Welcome back, Wyatt.’ Sydney Morning Herald ‘With The Heat, Disher continues to tap into that need that we have for anti-heroes...Couple that with a twisted, tense and taut thriller and once again, Garry Disher has turned out a winner.’ Aust Crime Fiction ‘Disher’s terse, spare prose never falters.’ Weekend Press ‘Garry Disher is one of Australia’s most exceptional crime writers...One of the most delightful aspects of a Garry Disher novel is the fascinating array of characters he assembles...The spare and sparse language, particularly in the way Disher frames the landscape, makes lines leap from the page.’ 4.5-starred review, Good Reading ‘Writing of the highest calibre, neatly crafted and strongly evocative.’ Sunday Mail ‘The Heat is beautifully crafted. Like its hero, it's lean, spare and trenchant...Disher provides a searing commentary on the way we choose to live now.’ Age/Sydney Morning Herald ‘Sparely written, with an entertaining set of villains, an unfathomable antihero and dry humour, reading this book is like riding a thrilling switchback.’ West Australian ‘Garry Disher deserves his reputation as one of Australia’s finest crime writers.’ Stuff NZ ‘Disher’s Wyatt, perfectly crafted in gripping, calculated prose, is someone you’ll happily follow into heists, thefts, and stopping their own murder.’ Readings ‘Every word counts in Disher’s books, but you’re never left with a sense that the writing is too sparse. The sentences are vividly alive. I read the book in a day, which shows what a page-turner it is.’ Otago Daily Times ‘The fast-moving spellbinding plot keeps the reader turning the pages and makes it hard to put the book down and return to real life.’ ArtsHub ‘This latest installment of Australia’s favourite crook is fast-paced and action-packed...Readers unfamiliar with Disher’s work are bound to want to seek out his backlist; fans of his Wyatt series will not be disappointed...A brilliant read!’ BookMooch
